61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?



Ver. 61. When Jesus knew in himself] For they had not yet discovered what pinched them; but only muttered it among themselves, aversantium more, in a discontented manner. They had done much better if they had opened their minds to Christ and sought satisfaction. But men will sooner talk against a preacher by "the walls and in the doors of their houses," Eze_33:30; (taking everything with the left hand, and by the left handle), than either candidly interpret, or let him be his own interpreter.
